Caption contest: Let's talk turkey
[Don Morris | Times]
We believe marriage should be between one man and one turkey. Just kidding! But that's the kind of sophmoric one-liner we hope to get in our Thanksgiving caption contest. Write a funny suggestion for what these characters may be saying.
The best captions will be published in the St. Petersburg Times on Nov. 23 and the top 3 will win prizes. Please include your name and e-mail if you'd like to be considered for the contest. The deadline for entries is Nov. 19.
So, come on. Let's talk turkey.
*I've removed a phone number listed in comments (we'll hold onto that in case it's a winning entry). Best to just leave your name & e-mail address.
When you invited me to Florida for the holidays...I hesitated...but I was getting so fat on that special diet you put me on. Then you said you wouldn't feel right joining your family without me...well, now I understand.

Tom honey don't worry, some day American's will acknowledge one man and one turkey. 2008 has already been the year of milestones. We can finally baste together.
